HONG KONG — Prosecutors in Taiwan have charged dozens of protesters over an occupation of government buildings last year that sought to block approval of a trade pact with China.
Protest leaders including Huang Kuo-chang, a scholar, and Lin Fei-fan, a former graduate student, were charged Monday with counts related to the 23-day occupation of Taiwan’s legislature, including obstructing official business and inciting others to commit criminal acts.

The deal has since been stalled in the legislature, with little expectation of passage before legislative and presidential elections in Taiwan next year.
